Sort of answered my own question. I bought it on Steam for $20. It's in alpha right now but it's very interesting.

It still has a ton of room for growth but basically it's like Minecraft on crack. You can build starting from the ground, all the way through the atmosphere and into space. They're working on making it right now so if you dig into ground, go into space, or keep running it will be limitless and still remember all the interaction you've had wherever you've been.

Played it a ton. If you like realism based shooters it is definitely worth the buck or two. If you enjoy shooters like COD 4 or Battlefield you might want to steer clear. It is certainly not the most user friendly of games.

I finally got into Sim city tonight. Pretty solid game so for. Starting out slow but building up now. Next I need to is bring in more jobs. Any get the Hero pack yet ? I won a free copy and it came with it! haven't gotten that far to try it or do I have the cash only around 500 right now.
